Once I get what I am owed from the GoFundMe project I will NEVER buy another action figure from #Nacelle. And I have purchased a lot from reputable manufacturers.

Half joke. Anx all earnest

Red Dwarf isn’t about hope. It’s about surviving without lying to yourself. I’ve written a companion essay to the new video — on food, routine, escapism and the discipline of staying sane in a universe that doesn’t care. open.substack.com/pub/britishs...

Jokes do matter. General and Priest, Emiliano Zapata, credited the lampoonists with winning the Revolución de 1910, because they moved the multitudes to march with him.

Red Dwarf traps its characters in a universe where nothing accumulates. No moral ladder. No aftermath arc. No rebuilding. So what grows in that gap? Food. Routine. Escapism. Humour. Red Dwarf Is About Living Without Lying to Yourself youtu.be/axgZE7txWq4

@rhapsodyangel.bsky.social @paulmyles.bsky.social @leahrebecca.bsky.social This is low key the best thing I’ve read all year !!!

Right then, shall I tell you all about this unpublished Captain Scarlet story that foreshadows one of UFO's best episodes and features Captain Scarlet going up against a Mysteronised sumo wrestler?

Last night, watching New Captain Scarlet Shape shifter episode on ITVX, Captain Scarlet gets graphically shot and chucked in a swamp. The adverts come on for cuddly pink puppy toys and lego pandas. Episode continues with him rising from a shallow grave. Not sure who they think is watching this.

The next video is underway.

The Olympics going for the half-converted Cybermen look was a bold move.

Happy New Year my lovelies.

A new year. Same questions, same curiosity. Thanks for being here — and happy New Year.

I’ve written a new essay on Total Recall — not as spectacle, but as a story about identity, repression, and the self you try to leave behind. open.substack.com/pub/britishs...

Merry Christmas from this corner of British sci-fi. Hope it’s a good one, wherever you are.

Here we go, again...

Most people remember Starship Mine as “Picard does Die Hard.” I don’t think that’s quite right. I think it’s about survival, withdrawal, and what Picard does when no one’s watching. My Christmas special is live now 👇 youtu.be/a6LmaG41eCI — @britishsci-fi.bsky.social

You always do. Always worth a watch, and always very good 👌

I'm too earnest!

I may miss you all most of tomorrow because it's Get Out The Vote canvassing day. Hope and Safety to all of you. I'll try to send you a picture!

Insightful examinations of a film you thought you knew ❣️

I finally have time to watch: The Decline and Fall of British Sci-fi!

@paulmyles.bsky.social @leahrebecca.bsky.social @melodyleelacy.smokefleet.net @rhapsodyangel.bsky.social @karlsweb.bsky.social

Perfect topping for my Halloween activities! I'm going to be viewing the new video by the Decline and Fall of British Sci-fi!

Ghostbusters II was never about the slime. It was about belief, burnout, and the moment the 1980s finally gave up the ghost. Full video now on The Decline and Fall of British Sci-Fi: The Hidden Genius of Ghostbusters II (And Why You Missed It) youtu.be/4SO0Y9aINgw 🎥

More observational excellence from the brain of that pigeon hating lunatic cockney hooligan ❣️

Ghostbusters II was never about the slime. It was about belief, burnout, and the moment the 1980s finally gave up the ghost. My Halloween special premieres at 5PM (UK) — a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood sequels ever made. Come for the ghosts. Stay for the existential crisis.

A cult classic. Genius.

On this day in 1967 Captain Scarlet begins on ATV London and Scottish Television - "The finger is on the trigger...." #gerryanderson #sylviaanderson #fanderson #captainscarlet

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds started 60 years ago today! @gerryanderson.bsky.social A British show that fired my imagination as a child (but 20 years later). A childhood that stays with me thanks to the Thunderbird 2 replica in my office. 😌

🚀 Thunderbirds turns 60 today! I’ve just dropped a deep dive into Thunderbirds Are Go — Zero X, rockets, puppets, explosions, and why this film deserves far more love than it usually gets. Watch here: youtu.be/yf9xt1o6lYI #Thunderbirds60

Thunderbirds are Go! And the Thunderbirds are 60! I am looking forward to the video!

🚀 Thunderbirds are 60. Tomorrow at 18:15 we’re taking Zero X off the runway. Puppets. Rockets. Explosions. And maybe… one of the most underrated British sci-fi films of the 60s. 👀 You might be surprised how good this one really is. #Thunderbirds #Thunderbirds60 #BritishScifi

OK so sometimes #AlienEarth parallels too close to #Alien and it reminds me of this. Is that a bad thing or good thing?

Absolutely this #Screamingfirehawks thinks this is one of best. Loved glowing plasma from the PDC rounds pernitrate the hull. Mass + Delta V is a real bitch. Especially in a hard vac the thermal dissipation is much slower to stop glowing. Dont get me started on the vector rotation of the exit plume.

Happy birthday to Andrew Probert (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica, Back to the Future)

Sirocco napping. Moments before her shipping mummification.

Tonight’s BBC4 #MissMarple is one of the cream of the crop. Better than the book. Laughs, locations, heart, grief and obsession, some absolute terror and horror. The main murder and the reveal of the killer are chilling. Blew my mind at age 12ish, made me a lifelong #AgathaChristie fan. Don’t miss.
